School Uniform and Valuables

The Governors of Westhaven School expect all learners to wear the school uniform. The wearing of uniform is helpful in generating a feeling of “belonging” and has been chosen in part by our learners. Sending your child to school in uniform sets a standard in appearance of which both parents and the school can be proud. Lower school have a different uniform to middle school.

It is essential for articles of clothing to be clearly marked with the learner’s name.

Jewellery

Learners are not encouraged to wear jewelry for reasons of Health and Safety. Each learner may wear:

  • One pair of stud earrings
  • A watch
  • Any item relating to a learner’s religion, e.g. cross and chain

Also, for Health and Safety reasons, the above items may need to be removed in particular lessons, such as PE and Food Technology, when they may be given to a teacher for safekeeping.

Personal Belongings

All personal belongings should be clearly marked with the owner’s name.  Any money should be handed into the class teacher or admin officer for safekeeping.  Valuable items, such as iPods, MP3 players and computer games, must not be brought into school unless specified for a particular lesson or club.

Any mobile phones, tablets or other devices which can take pictures must be handed in to the admin officer at the start of the school session for safekeeping.  Any mobile phone found in the possession of a learner during school time will be taken into safekeeping and only handed back directly to the learner’s parent.

Parents should note that the school cannot accept liability for the loss or damage of personal property.  Anything found should be handed in to a member of staff or the school admin officer.  A lost property box is kept in the school office.
